The Scorching Afternoon (Paperback)

Oliver has a special place - his treehut in the backyard - it overlooks his school. He's also got a special friend - a bird. Up in the treehut he likes to read and to dream and to spy on what's going on in the house. One day he smells smoke and sees that the school is on fire - he watches while people call for help and the fire takes control and the fire brigade comes. But is it too late?
